Call it the ultimate family dream house. This 20,000-square-foot home high atop Bald Hill in Andover has everything kids could want — a regulation-size indoor basketball court outfitted with a batting cage and a major-league pitching machine, an indoor pool with water slides, a home theater with stage, a room full of arcade machines — even a 10-pin bowling alley.
The current owners raised four children in the home, which despite its square footage does not feel like an egoistic McMansion. The rooms are well-scaled and the basketball court is subtly hidden behind a front colonnade and arched glass windows, with a separate entrance for holding neighborhood practices.
Built in 2003, the home has a tasteful olive cedar and fieldstone exterior and sits on four acres of land with a putting green and grass backyard the size of a football field and sporting panoramic views. It was on the market for $6.5 million but has just been reduced to $5.5 million, far less than the owner has invested.
Custom-milled cherrywood and mahogany door moldings and built-ins fill the home, along with engineered birch floors that have radiant heating in some rooms. There's a light-filled home office, a billiards room, formal dining room, large master bedroom suite and four other bedrooms with connecting Jack-and-Jill baths.
The cherrywood and Absolut black granite kitchen features a breakfast bar that seats nine, a two-sided gas fireplace, professional grade Wolfe appliances and an adjoining sunroom for informal dining.
The large sunken living room is divided by a coffered ceiling and soffits into several areas, with a large fieldstone wood-burning fireplace and a built-in media center. This room opens out onto a large deck with great views that has a built-in hot tub and professional putting green.
There's even a nanny/in-law suite on the first floor with a full bath.
But the home's highlights are the basketball court with a professional scoreboard and the indoor pool, bowling alley and locker rooms and a home gym below, which account for nearly 9,000 square feet of the home. There's a soaring cedar solarium at one end of the gym with water slides down to the pool.
The second-floor master bedroom suite has a seating area with glass doors out to a deck. There are two walk-in closets and a two-sided gas fireplace that overlooks a raised whirlpool tub in a marble-lined en-suite bathroom with a double granite-topped vanity and walk-in shower.
The other bedrooms are scattered throughout the second and smaller third floors, and there are two sets of laundry areas.
The basement has a finished game room with a bar, a home theater with rows of plush seats, and a second nanny/in-law suite. The arcade games are negotiable to buy.
